Why parents matter

• Parenting a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a journey marked by both love and resilience.

• Parents of autistic children face markedly higher stress, depression, and anxiety than parents of neurotypical children.

• Globally, about 50 % of mothers of autistic children report elevated depressive symptoms, well above the 6 – 13 % seen in mothers of neurotypical children.

• Fathers also experience high parenting stress, which is linked to poorer physical health outcomes.

• Indian context:

  • Societal stigma and limited specialized services intensify isolation, financial strain, and emotional exhaustion.

  • Caregiving demands often lead to reduced social support and restricted employment opportunities.

Explore our journey in supporting parents of autistic children

This is a very thoughtful initiative. Not many people support the parents as much as the kids. No one knows how tough it must be for the parents.
